Anonymous Authentication in IIS 6.0

Updated: August 22, 2005

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

Anonymous authentication gives users access to the public areas of your Web or FTP site without prompting them for a user name or password. By default, the IUSR_computername account is used to allow anonymous access.

In IIS 6.0, anonymous authentication no longer requires the Allow log on locally user right, because NETWORK_CLEARTEXT is now the default logon type for anonymous and basic authentication.

During setup, the IUSR_computername account is added to the Guests group on the computer running IIS. Guests have the same access as members of the Users group by default, except for the Guest account, which is further restricted.

Connectivity in Open Progress

Thanks for having me, 'm somewhat of a controverse in Politics Land, which should not be allowed to upset Program and it's ever growing needs for progress which can be applied by Independent Source adding to HTML,XML and/or addresslines by clearance and previous screening.
My point? I would not have access granted in the area where I want to perform an enhancement to existing situation in connectivity, so any addition I would make to existing situation must be granted the benefit of the doubt as a courtesy.
Of course I do agree that not everybody in the World can have the same good intention as those of us who have made sacrifices to their own lives because their Principles in Democratic Process took precedence over personal success and career.

To me personally this attitude can end my life at any given time, but I would not be the selfishness and dismember Netwerk from it's Spiritual Guide on Earth.
